Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

The revolution will be supervised.

Books are my comfort food!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

I really should read my own blog.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

In my day, never was longer.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

    The minimalism of the photo matches the minimalism of the post.

    I like it.

    I’ve been going to this farmhouse (not shown) for more than 20 years. The contrast between where I live – Washington DC – and rural France is, of course, immense. Village life in France is to go back a hundred years or so and forget about horrific traffic and strip malls and waiting for Amazon to deliver junk from America and China (although they will). So, traveling doesn’t have to be just visiting museums and historic landmarks. Find a getaway place somewhere on the planet and just getaway!

    We spent several days in the Sarlat area – stayed at Beynac –  one year – loved it.  It’s my favorite region of France…

    Ahhh — I love reading the Bruno books and watching Madame Blanc Mysteries and Murder in Provence and Agathe Koltes and Astrid. Rural France (and Paris) are so inviting. How lovely to have a place you return to over and over. I live in a rural area but alas not in France.

    Thank you for this photo.

    Photo captures why the French are so snooty. Because they know what matters and how to live.

    Beautiful photo. That’s my kind of outdoor setting.

    My goal is to rent a place for a month in either southern France or NW Italy and wander the markets, cook, and eat.

    Also use it as a base of operations to travel around The Continent.
